any concerts or do records anymore. :)<br />
Something to fight and die for... if I die I can't Fight, if I can't<br />
Fight I can't die... or... what was that?...<br />
Something that you can be proud of… any previous lives I've<br />
lived (hopefully).<br />
Something that you miss in your day…. vanilla cream soda.<br />
A historical character for a dinner date... Audrey Hepburn.<br />
A key turning point in history... end of Cold War.<br />
A key turning point in your life... the idea for Keeper of The<br />
Seven Keys.<br />
If you look at the past… you would change… I've never been<br />
in a situation that could have been controlled actively.<br />
A virtue to share... virtual Flowers (haha. well. humility).<br />
A defect to improve... not knowing enough and how to deal with more<br />
knowledge.<br />

Your essential pillar of life... health.<br />
A smell from yesterday... vanilla, patchouli, lotus.<br />

machine.<br />

The fullness of joy... yeah would be nice. :)<br />
How would you like to be remembered… in a positive light.<br />
How do you live spiritually... well I just do it somehow.<br />
A passion... not healthy to mention to minors, won't promote bad<br />
habits here.<br />
A perfect day... most days in 1972-1978 but mainly 1978.<br />
A frenetic attraction to… too many celebrities actresses and<br />
models to list.<br />
What makes you laugh... comedies and situations.<br />
What makes you cry... cruelty, unfairness, futility, inconsiderate<br />
behaviour.<br />
You are a true fan of…. Beatles and –not so true cos I<br />
don't know much– Haydn, Mozart.<br />
If you were not a musician… your life would have been<br />
dedicated to… cartoons probably.<br />
A musician you would like to have played with… I am<br />
too low scale to mention any names.<br />
A mania or ritual before a show… I'd rather not say.<br />
Your daily routine outside of music... mmmmmmm. no routine.<br />
I do different things almost every day, I tend not to like routines much.

Can anybody tell me how I gotta do it right?<br />

THE SWING OF A FALLEN WORLD<br />
Achiever, believer<br />
You saint and cold deceiver<br />
It's the swing of a fallen world<br />
Religion, tactician<br />
Dark horse and politician<br />
It's the swing of a fallen world<br />
Betray, but you won't get away<br />
The damage is done<br />
A million to one<br />
I bet we will witness the war of the sun<br />
The game that we play<br />
Is now here to stay<br />
We never can stop what we've sent on its way, no<br />
It's the swing of a fallen world<br />
The swing of a fallen world<br />
Impeacher, false preacher<br />
Grand man and paltry creature<br />
It's the swing of a fallen world<br />
Manslaughter, garroter<br />
You've slain, you rough-housed daughter<br />
It's the swing of a fallen world<br />
Bye bye, you too will die<br />
The treasure we had<br />
So crazy and mad<br />
Was sold out by people who cannot be glad<br />
A handful of greed<br />
A contagious seed<br />
A handful of assholes who never recede<br />
This adverse evolution<br />
Mankind knows no solution<br />
It's the swing of a fallen world<br />
The damage is done<br />
A million to one<br />
I bet we will witness the war of the sun<br />
The game that we play<br />
Is now here to stay<br />
We never can stop what we've sent on its way, no<br />
It's the swing of a fallen world<br />
The swing of a fallen world<br />
LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE<br />
Dreamer, why don't you think like everybody else?

People, don't you care 'bout what they say?<br />
Deceivers, they break you down and make you pay<br />
Brothers, they don't understand any word you say<br />
All your life you are fighting<br />
They're trying to force you in<br />
When the time has come<br />
You'll not be alone<br />
Cause walls broke down<br />
They'll see they were wrong<br />
When the time has come<br />
There'll be more of you<br />
With all their strength<br />
You'll show them the truth<br />
Mistreaters, they don't care, but fear your will<br />
Sisters, they don't understand any word you say<br />
All your life you are fighting<br />
They're trying to force you in<br />
When the time has come<br />
You'll not be alone<br />
Cause walls broke down<br />
They'll see they were wrong<br />
When the time has come<br />
You ain't no fool<br />
Cause walls broke down<br />
They stop being cruel<br />
When the time has come<br />
There'll be more of you<br />
With all their strength<br />
You'll show them the truth<br />
Dreamer, why can't you be like everybody else?<br />
CREATURES IN HEAVEN<br />
Are you waiting on something profound in your life?<br />
Something to touch your core?<br />
Making up for what seems millions of years<br />
Reaping the goods, but not sure...<br />
Come along, come along<br />
Can you see there's more?<br />
Not just defeat vain attempts to do things right<br />
More than the toil to endure each day<br />
Or the ache you forget and leave behind<br />
If creatures roamed the space in heaven<br />
They're angels, beasts, or supermen<br />
Do they ease attaining things<br />
No one believed you'd achieve?<br />
So once you may ascend to heaven<br />
Someone there has made it so<br />
You could be the one they've been waiting for<br />
Still running about seeking sense in your life<br />
What you couldn't make count before<br />
Taking much of your time is grieving about things<br />
Well, you could care less, what's that for...<br />
Come along, come along<br />
Can you see there's more?<br />
Not just defeat vain attempts to do things right<br />
More than the toil to endure each day<br />
Or the ache you forget and leave behind<br />
Come along, come along<br />
Can you see there's more?<br />
Not just defeat vain attempts to do things right<br />
More than the toil to endure each day<br />
Or the ache you forget and leave behind<br />
If creatures roamed the space in heaven<br />
They're angels, beasts, or supermen<br />
Do they ease attaining things<br />
No one believed you'd achieve?<br />
So once you may ascend to heaven<br />
Someone there has made it so<br />
You could be the one they've been waiting for<br />
IF GOD LOVES ROCK ‘N’ ROLL<br />
Ticking, ticking, ticking<br />
Always counting right down<br />
The clock strikes ten<br />
You still wear your old gown<br />
Come on, come on, come on<br />
Get the hell up and stay<br />
Alert and strong<br />
Try to find your right way<br />
People say it's wrong<br />
People say it's bad<br />
Others say that God's a little mad<br />
Secretly he'd wear the black, you know<br />
If God loves rock 'n' roll<br />
I'd better protect my soul<br />
'Cause Heaven seems to be<br />
The place I wanna be<br />
If God loves rock 'n' roll<br />
I'd better reset my goal<br />
Do everything I can<br />
To be a rocking man<br />
Yeah, yeah, yeah<br />
Leather suits you better<br />
Got to let your hair grow<br />
Take the black and enjoy the new show<br />
Welcome to an army spreading over the world<br />
Wild and proud brothers<br />
Haven't you heard?<br />
People say it's wrong

MONSTERS OF ROCK
ANDREAS DERIS was born in Karlsruhe on 18 August 1964. He is the current vocalist and one of the main songwriters<br />
for Helloween.<br />
Additionally, he co-founded the German melodic metal band Pink Cream 69, in which he was the lead singer. He<br />
also has an active solo career, as well as his own recording studio in Tenerife called Mi Sueño.<br />
Deris started to sing in his first band, Paranoid, when he was 15 years old, changing the band’s<br />
name to Nameless some years later. He stayed in this band along with his school friend and<br />
drummer Ralf Maurer.<br />
In late 1984 Andi Deris joined a band called Dragon with the two brothers Bruno and Oscar Di<br />
Blasio (Di Blasio Bros) on guitar and Bernd and Stefan Lüddemann on bass and drums. After<br />
playing live concerts in the Karlsruhe area, they went to Edo Zanki’s Studio in Karlsdorf<br />
and to Arco Studio, Munich to record their first demo with producer Tony Monn. In 1986,<br />
Bruno and Oscar Di Blasio, together with Andi Deris, met the Italian bass player Daniel<br />
De Niro and... Kymera was born! Ralf Maurer alias “Ralph Mason” was “again” recruited<br />
as the band’s new drummer. After a few concerts, Ralf quit Kymera and was replaced<br />
by the talented young drummer Kosta Zafiriou.<br />
That early friendship between Andi Deris and Kosta led to the formation of Pink<br />
Cream 69 early in 1987. The original line-up was Dennis Ward, Kosta Zafiriou,<br />
Alfred Koffler and Deris. They became popular enough to attract interest from<br />
numerous record companies, ultimately choosing to sign with CBS (now known<br />
as Sony Music) and toured in Europe, America and Japan, recording 3 successful<br />
albums.<br />
In 1993 Michael Kiske left Helloween and was replaced by Deris. The new<br />
Helloween line-up recorded Master of the Rings, a departure from the progressive<br />
rock sound of Chameleon and a return to their classic power metal<br />
sound. Deris immediately became the primary songwriter for the band together<br />
with Weikath.<br />
Deris then recorded his first solo album Come in from the Rain. The album<br />
contained some power metal material such as The King of 7 Eyes, but<br />
the album is remembered for its experimental side with more mellow<br />
and mid-tempo material. Deris sang and played guitar, accompanied<br />
by Peter Idera, Ralph Maison and Gisbert Royder.<br />
Besides Helloween, Deris is a very active collaborator in parallel<br />
projects. He provided the lead vocals for some songs in Ayreon<br />
and Rage’s albums and he sang with an ensemble of singers in<br />
the 20 Years Anniversary Song by the band Axxis.<br />
He appeared together with Uli in the Tribute to Rainbow album<br />
with the song Catch the Rainbow, and he sings with Angry<br />
Anderson and Lemmy Kilmister on the Saxon anthem I’ve<br />
Got to Rock to Stay Alive.<br />
In 2010 he recorded guest vocals with the band Wicked<br />
Sensation for a duet in My Turn to Fly. In 2011 he<br />
appeared in the duet Black Widow with the vocalist<br />
of Eden’s Curse on their Trinity album. In addition,<br />
he worked on the charity project “Help! For Japan<br />
EP” where he sang along with other well-known<br />
metal players such as former Helloween singer<br />
Michael Kiske.<br />
He also works as a producer in his own studio, producing<br />
Tenerife-based band Meridian Zero’s first album<br />
Doors of Creation and Esclavitud’s album Condenados<br />
Al Paraíso.<br />

INGO<br />
SCHWICHTENBERG<br />
INGO SCHWICHTENBERG was born in Hamburg<br />
on 18 May 1965. He was one of the<br />
founding members of Helloween and was<br />
famous in professional terms for his highenergy<br />
drumming, but also for his sense of<br />
humour on the personal side. The members of<br />
Helloween gave Ingo the nickname “Mr. Smile”,<br />
because he was hardly ever seen without<br />
a smile on his face.<br />
Living with and for Helloween, Ingo was sadly<br />
ejected from the band in 1993 during the<br />
tour for the album Chameleon. The dismissal<br />
was reportedly due to Ingo’s dependence<br />
on harmful substances to treat his illness.<br />
Ingo also suffered from schizophrenia, and<br />
his refusal to take his medication would lead<br />
to bizarre episodes such as uncontrollable<br />
sobbing, which made it impossible for him to<br />
take the stage.<br />
Additionally, Ingo was apparently somewhat<br />
dissatisfied with the band’s musical direction<br />
as well. According to an anecdote by Michael<br />
Weikath, remembering his friend, Ingo usually<br />
called the song Windmill “Shitmill”.<br />
After his ejection from the band, Ingo Schwichtenberg<br />
slid further and further into his<br />
schizophrenic episodes, which sadly culminated<br />
in his suicide on 8 March 1995, when<br />
he jumped in front of a subway train.<br />
His friend Kai Hansen dedicated the song<br />
Afterlife from Gammaray’s album Land of<br />
the Free to Ingo. In addition, Michael Kiske<br />
makes a tribute to Ingo with the track<br />
Always, on his first solo album Instant<br />
Clarity, and Helloween dedicated the entire<br />
The Time of the Oath album to the loving<br />
memory of Ingo.<br />
Together we went through both beautiful and<br />
rough times. Your place in Helloween’s<br />
history will be forever. Our memories<br />
remain as well as our gratitude.<br />
[In memory of Ingo Schwíchtenberg.<br />
Helloween 1996]
